What this covers
- Policy research and situation analysis, qualitative and quantitative
- Drafting policies, guidelines, frameworks and position papers
- Regulatory review and legislative analysis
- Multistakeholder process design and consultation facilitation
- Stakeholder mapping and engagement strategy
